In today's society, the number of people suffering from cervical cancer is increasing year by year. As of December 2021, the incidence of cervical cancer has risen to one percent. That is to say, on average, one in every hundred people has a malignant tumor such as cervical cancer. The World Health Organization believes that cervical cancer and breast cancer are the two most common malignant tumors in women.
According to the World Health Organization's findings, an average of about half a million women suffer from the disease cervical cancer every year. In order to better protect people from cervical cancer diseases, scientists have developed HPV vaccines that prevent cervical cancer lesions. By injecting this vaccine, the effect of preventing cervical cancer can be achieved very well.
First, what exactly is HPV
HpV, commonly referred to as HPV, is medically known as the "human papillomavirus." After being infected with this virus, it is easy to cause tumor lesions in the cervical area of the human uterus, which is often referred to as "cervical cancer". It is believed that effective prevention of HPV infection, or timely treatment after infection with HPV, can fundamentally prevent cervical cancer.
The clinical manifestations of hpV are usually not obvious. In order to facilitate people to detect whether they are infected with HPV, medical experts have made a large number of observations and records of HPV patients.
After obtaining a large amount of data, medical scientists have collated and studied this data. Eventually, medical scientists discovered some clinical commonalities in HPV patients. People can compare these clinical commonalities and conduct self-examination to determine whether they have HPV. To put it simply, when people have the following situations, they need to seek medical treatment in time to avoid cervical cancer.
Second, the vaginal discharge increases after infection
If you want to judge whether there is an increase in vaginal discharge, the first thing to make clear is what is white discharge. What people often call "vaginal discharge" refers to a mixture of secretions from three parts in medicine. The three sites where vaginal discharge is possible, namely the vaginal mucosa, the cervical canal, and the endometrial glands.
Through scientific medical observation, it is found that many HPV patients have great changes in the number of vaginal discharge before and after infection. In normal healthy women, the number of vaginal discharges is a stable number. Usually less than two milliliters or so. But when healthy women are infected with HPV, the number of vaginal discharges increases dramatically.
A normal vaginal discharge should be a colorless, transparent flocculent. However, after too many vaginal discharges, they will become a viscous white solid substance. This substance is similar to the tofu residue commonly seen in people's daily lives. After this situation occurs, we must go to a professional medical institution in time for further diagnosis and timely treatment.
3. Vaginal discharge odor after infection
When people are infected with HPV, in addition to the sharp increase in the number of vaginal discharge, there will be a great change in taste. Scientific research proves that healthy vaginal discharge is a tasteless substance. The vaginal discharge secreted by women infected with HPV will have a pungent odor.
Therefore, when people's vaginal discharge has a pungent, unpleasant odor, it means that they may be infected with HPV. According to clinical records, it can be known that the pungent odor emitted by the vaginal discharge is generally manifested as a sour taste. When the vaginal discharge changes from tasteless to sour, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time to avoid continuous damage to physical health and even cervical cancer.
4. Itching of the vulva after infection
In addition to abnormal vaginal discharge, external pruritus is also common in HPV, one of the clinical manifestations of infected people with this virus. If people want to judge whether the body has an itching of the vulva, they first need to clarify what is called "vulva" in medicine.
Medically, the vulva is referred to as "female genitalia." Normally, a woman's external genitalia is made up of eight parts. The eight parts are the vulva, labia majora, labia minora, vaginal opening, vaginal vestibule, clitoris, vaginal flap, and urethral orifice.
When one or more of the eight parts of a woman have itching, there is a high probability of contracting HPV. At this time, it is necessary to carry out medical treatment in a timely manner. Otherwise, it will aggravate the damage of HPV to the patient's physical health, and will also greatly increase the probability of cervical cancer.
5. Vaginal itching after infection
Through scientific research, studies have shown that once a woman is infected with HPV, in addition to the itching of the vulva, the vagina will also appear clinical symptoms of itching. To determine if there is a problem with vaginal itching, you first need to determine the location of the vagina. The vagina is medically the part that connects the inner genitalia, that is, between the uterus and the external genitalia.
When a woman's body is in a healthy state, the vagina does not have any itching. Therefore, once vaginal itching occurs, it indicates that a woman's vagina is unhealthy. Among the causes of vaginal itching, HPV infection is a very common medical one.
6. Blood in the stool after infection
In addition to women being infected with HPV, men are also likely to be infected with HPV. Among male patients infected with HPV, the most common clinical manifestation is that there is an abnormality with blood capillaries or even blood clots in the bowel movements.
Scientific investigations have found that among male patients with HPV, it is easy to have blood in the bowel movements. After further investigation by medical scientists, it was confirmed that more than 55.5% of the male group with HPV will have clinical manifestations of blood in the bowel movement. Of course, female patients infected with HPV will also have blood in the stool.
Therefore, blood in the bowel movement can be considered a manifestation of HPV infection. Moreover, this performance is more suitable for men to use self-examination. That is to say, men are more suitable for using whether there is blood in the stool as a basis for judging HPV infection. When a man has blood in the stool, he must seek medical treatment in time.
summary:
In summary, women want to better reduce the chance of cervical cancer, men want to avoid HPV to aggravate the damage to the body, must pay attention to HPV self-examination. And after judging the infection, seek medical treatment in time.
When women have an abnormal increase in the number of vaginal discharge, a special odor of vaginal discharge, itching in the vulva, itching in the vagina, and blood after defecation, these conditions are all caused by HPV infection. When a man has blood in the stool, it also means that he is infected with HPV and also needs timely medical treatment.
